Santa Fe – Leadership Santa Fe’s ‘Class of 2012’ is open to applicants. The 2011-12 program begins in the fall. Interested applicants should go to www.leadershipsantafe.org to apply today. David Markwardt, Leadership Development Facilitator, will team up with Lucy River, Program Director, to host the nine month curriculum, which falls under the banner of the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce. Together with a class of twenty-five community leaders, they will examine issues of economic development, health, government, non-profits, and youth & education, and meet with over fifty prominent local policy and decision makers.

“I can honestly say it has been one of the richest experiences of my life. Finding time for the Leadership Santa Fe program allowed me to discover that one can always make time for self-reflection, self-improvement and commitment to something larger,” said Jackie Hall, Director of Philanthropy, The Nature Conservancy.
